American non-profit organization From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Berkeley Music Group is a 501(c)(3) non-profit based in Berkeley, California. It was formed in 2012 by David Mayeri, who was formerly chief operating officer of Bill Graham Presents[1] to renovate the UC Theatre.[2] The UC Theatre was a movie theatre from its opening in 1917 to its closing in 2001.[3] The Berkeley Music Group reopened the theatre in Spring 2016 as a music venue, and will present between 75-100 shows per year, in a wide variety of genres.[4] [5] Berkeley Music Group raised $5.6 million through private donations and grants, with Taube Philanthropies giving them a $1.3 million matching grant. After the grant, the theatre was renamed The UC Theatre Taube Family Music Hall.[6]
They also plan to operate The Berkeley Music Group Educational Programs, which will offer workshops and internship programs for local youth, aged 17–25.[7]
